Notice: I don't own any familiar characters.George does.I own plot.and future characters.that is all.

~.~.~Padme's POV~.~.~

As I walked by myself to the senate, I thought about Anakin. I wondered how he had done with Obi-Wan and how he was doing with the council. I don't want what we have to end.I had had fun that one night.he was pretty good lookin' under the outfit.

I had to get back to thinking of what I was going to say to the senate.maybe I should do individuals instead of several hundred people.start with one person then add.just few people had to know.I will start with Bail Organa.he was a very good friend and will understand.

Soon, I was at his small apartment. It looked so peaceful inside and I wondered what was going on or if he was even there.I knocked three times as usual and slowly opened the door.he never kept it locked.as soon as I was four steps in the room, the lights flipped on and every one jumped out and yelled, "WELCOME HOME!" It didn't sound that good because every one started at different times so it wasn't coordinated. Someone touched me on the shoulder and I quickly turned around. There was Bail, standing right behind me. All of the sudden, he got down on one knee and said, "Padme Amidala, will you marry me?" he started to say something else, but the only thing is, I can't remember what he said, I just fainted.

(2 hours later and still in Padme's POV)

There was music playing.a soft oboe playing a catchy tune, and then turning into a flute. It was very catchy.I slowly opened my eyes to see Anakin sitting next to me, holding my head in his lap, gently stroking my hair. He saw that I was awake and quickly let me sit up. Once I was up, I looked around the room. In the room, there were two others, Bail and Obi. Anakin began to speak as I began to think.

"Only three of the four of us in this room know what has happened in the past week, the last was unable to be informed due to the condition the informer was in. While she still awakes, I will tell you, Bail. (AN: BAIL IS REJECTED!) Padme and I got married last week. Now for the second thing, I need both of you to leave the room for a second while I tell my wife something important. If you would, please?"

I noticed Bail opening and closing his mouth and a tear start to fall from his eye. And then I remembered, he had asked me to marry him. I was so sorry (AN: BUT HE WAS DENIED!). Bail was a very good friend, but I just didn't love him like that. I loved Anakin. Now, I wondered what this thing was that Anakin had to tell me.

Anakin started slowly at first. He said, "Padme, I have good news. You didn't faint for any old reason, or even out of shock. You fainted from a result from something we did together." He paused for a second, looking everywhere but at me, I guess he was trying to find the words, but I already knew, or at least I thought I did.

"Padme, I'm going to be a dad, and you're going to be a mom." I was overwhelmed! I was pregnant? How could that be? I can't believe it still! That was when the music got louder. Now, it was a harp playing, it was coming from a machine next to me. The music sounded like love. It was sweet and surrounding. I had to get back to the thing that Anakin and just told me. I was going to become a mother!

He must have been able to tell that I couldn't believe it because he pulled me into a tight hug and held me saying, "It will be alright, we will get through this together, but now, we must tell them. They are waiting and getting more suspicious every moment they wait, I can feel it." Then he pulled away from me. He looked me deep into my eyes and asked, "I also feel pain from Bail. What did he do to you?"

I sighed, fretting telling what Bail, my good friend had asked me earlier. But I knew I had to tell my husband, "He asked me to marry him. I wouldn't have through, I love you." Anakin let go of me with a look of slight hatred and annoyance in his eyes. I had only sensed that one other time and that was when he brought back his mother on Tatooine. It was so painful to see him look like that. He got up and headed for the door, but pulled his hand away and turned back to me, "And what would you have told him? Would you have automatically said no or would you have said you would have to think about it so then you could have more time for you to think of how to disappoint him?"

For the one time in my life, I didn't know what I would have done. I thought for a second then turned my head towards Anakin, "I would have had him wait, then come to you to tell you what he had done." Now there was even more hatred in his eyes, though it wasn't at Bail. I could tell I had said something wrong.

"So you don't love me so much that you would have no doubt in your mind?" Anakin paused, and then continued, "this disappoints me to hear, but I know what you would've said in the end, and it makes me appreciate you even more." He smiled his famous smile and left to get the two waiting outside. The music plays once again, happy as ever.

~.~.~Anakin's POV~.~.~

She has fainted, my loved one has fainted, and I can't believe why. It is amazing, it is astounding, it is unbelievable and it includes me. As she opens her lovely eyes, I move her from my lap to the pillow next to me. As she is still awaking, I start to talk in a serious tone, "Only three of the four of us in this room know what has happened in the past week, the last was unable to be informed due to the condition the informer was in. While she still awakes, I will tell you, Bail. Padme and I got married last week. Now for the second thing, I need both of you to leave the room for a second while I tell my wife something important. If you would please?"

I didn't notice it at first, but I should've. I would only find out in the moments to come what had happened before Padme had fainted. That would have to wait though; I had to tell her the good news. I began to speak, "Padme, I'm going to be a dad, and you're the mom." Yes, she was pregnant, and with my son or daughter. Surely they would be able to use the force also.

She looked astounded, so I pulled her into a tight hug, whispering into her ear, "It will be alright, we will get through this together, but now we must tell them. They are waiting and getting more suspicious every moment they wait, I can feel it." Then, I felt something else, and as I did, I pulled away form her, still holding her by the shoulders though. "I also feel pain from Bail. What did he do to you?" She looked surprised that I could've felt that he was in pain, and she also looked as if she was in pain herself. She began to speak, "He asked me to marry him. I wouldn't have though, I love you." He had asked MY wife to marry him? He didn't deserve her! I DESERVED HER! She was mine! I was the father of her children! I had married her a week ago. I got up, about to go out and punch his lights out for trying to take her away form me, but I remembered, he hadn't known I would get married to her, it wasn't his fault, but I had to know one thing.

"And what would you have told him? Would you have automatically said no or would you have said you would have to think about it so then you could have more time for you to think of how to disappoint him?"

It was the one and only thing I had to know and she answered it after a matter of a few seconds of thinking. "I would have had him wait, then come to you to tell you what he had asked me." She would have waited! She didn't know for sure whether she loved me was my first thoughts, but then I thought better.

"So you don't love me so much that you would have no doubt in your mind?" I paused a second before continuing, "this disappoints me to her, but I know what you would've said in the end and it makes me appreciate you even more." I smiled and went out the door to bring the other two back in to cease their impatience and curiosity.
